Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
The story is simple, the pacing is solid, and every gun has its own running commentary, which is brilliant because I get bored easily.
146 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Some of their best upgrades are hidden away in chests, because apparently the developers thought “Hey, what if we put essential character progression behind scavenger hunts designed by an eldritch prankster?”
102 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
The intro tricks you with a knockoff retro FPS tutorial featuring a guy who sounds like me if I had a sinus infection and a misdemeanor record in another universe.
